I don't think that touring car racing, GT racing, Dakar and rallycross can add anything to the rally experience that Loeb developed in 10+ years of WRC plus the earlier years in the national championship. For sure it's better that he has been racing rather than playing golf, but it's not the same as rallying in the WRC... we will see what he can do, it's hard to tell indeed. I'd only be happy if he could fight for a podium.
